She wears her heart
on a chain
around her neck.
That's brave...
so I try to make her day
EVERYDAY.
She says, "No man ever gave me that.
Never smiled at me in the morning,
Like you do."
I tell her, "Drowning men looking for rowboats
don't think yachts will be sent their way.
So they wait for the rowboats,
even when a yacht is in view.
That's all they expect."
She says, "Girl...where do you get this stuff?"
I say, "You inspire me. I want to give to you
what you give to others."
That's the truth...
our morning bathroom ritual.
She stares back at me,
we re-connect,
become one to face the world.
